This time, your email won't work for some nonsentical reason. (MAILER DAEMON says: "inbox no longer recieving mail" or somesuch).

So, I give you my email here, HOPING, you will read it... o.o

Hey,

I encoded the uncompressed file to huffy with LAME Mp3 compressed sound, and th

at came out at 115mb. The AMV is only 1:50, and the resolution is 320x224...

Now, as an mpeg2 I had it on the resize-fulscreen(whatever) property, so I figu

red it was okay. Regardless, It was a game and widescreen or other aspect ratio

s I tried smushed the video so I wasn\\\'t sure what to do with it. So I just l
ef
t it at what it was ripped at...

.

Wierd. WS_FTP Can\\\'t get the host entry, but Internet Explorer seems to be fi
ne
with your FTP. Okay. Whatever.

Anyway, When encoded to Xvid 1 Pass Quality, at 10000 bitrate, the footage was

blocky. While with MPEG2 it made my credits look all interlaced, as well as the

heavy motion(You\\\'ll find out what I\\\'m talking about later). But the main
stu
ff in the AMV was fine, so I just left it that way. I believe the bitrate on th

at one was 20000... MPEG1 I didn\\\'t even try since I figured that\\\'d give m
e wo
rse quality. DivX I didn\\\'t try because I realized I didn\\\'t have the codec
to
encode with. MPEG4 V2 probably would\\\'ve worked out, but you\\\'d have to ins
tall
a new codec on your computer. Anyway.

I\\\'ll just upload the huffy in a winRAR file and see how that works out.
PS:

Okay, the huffy within winRAR is 85mb and it\'s been uploaded. Awaiting to see
if it works on your end. =p

SQ: I'll check your entry and get back to you. it should be ok. don't know what was up with all those different encodes, but at that size, a huffy copy should play just fine anyway.

don't know what was up with the email. I've received other emails over the past couple days no problem, even something new just now, so I have no idea what could've caused that.

Matt,

I made a topic in Video Software help.

They said if I wanted my video to look good I'm pretty much screwed unless I go with Real(Or quicktime).

Which should be interesting. 0.o

But, I'll leave it all up to you. You seem pretty smart. =p

Good luck with the contest, hope everything goes fine.

I don't know, I never use quicktime, and I despise anything associated with Real media. I can't promise that our computers would play either.

just dl-ed your entry, but I can't open the rar file. can you just upload the huffy file as is, without compressing it? 115 megs is really not a problem.
